It had rained the day we left and Jilda got tears in her eyes as we taxied down the Shannon runway. She said, "I feel like I'm leaving home."<br />We loved every moment in that country and we plan to return.<br />RRick Watsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01005727239466916086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874656382203957840.post-2301072443350593162015-06-20T19:44:00.394-04:002015-06-20T19:44:00.394-04:00Oh, but I'd love to see Ireland someday!
Back...Oh, but I'd love to see Ireland someday! <br />Back in the 70's my (former) hubby and I subscribed to an organization where folks could 'swap' homes for vacation! <br /><br />One year we entered into such a swap with a nice family from Rome. All and all the trade was a success -- something we could never have afforded otherwise -- but I'll never forget the first morning's debacle: Armed with my converter plug, I went to blow-dry my hair and plunged the entire house into darkness. Neither of us spoke Italian, but that didn't stop me from running next door and banging on the gate. Thankfully, the homeowner -- a pilot for Alitalia -- spoke fluent English and knew what to do!

They have an honesty policy where you take what you want and then put the money in a box that is out there in the open. Nobody steals. Sad that can't be the case everywhere.TARYTERREhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14620999913159718018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874656382203957840.post-36765707908608457002015-06-20T11:53:46.002-04:002015-06-20T11:53:46.002-04:00Now days if it's unlocked sure don't tell ...Now days if it's unlocked sure don't tell anyone!

Take what you need and pay what you want to. I grew up beside the Methodist church and it was never locked. We could even go in to play church.Paulahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04007728342316668058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874656382203957840.post-15213170150338018742015-06-20T02:04:31.085-04:002015-06-20T02:04:31.085-04:00I remember a time when the churches were left unlo...I remember a time when the churches were left unlocked and opened for people to come in and pray or whatever. Sad that so many things nowadays have to be locked up.<br /><br />bettybettyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06323135450742337670noreply@blogger.com
